WHAT GEN. sUaLER SAW
While investigating the Stc.te of At
fairs Among the Irish TcKantry.

While Investigating the St;.te OF An.
fairs Among the Irish TcHantry.
LONDON, March 11.-Gen. Butler de-
clareS that the version of his evidence be-
fore the land commission, was untrue. He
denied that he made statement about CO.
ercion. The subject, he says, was not even
indirectly alluded to while he was before
the commission. A scrutiny of the official
report, issued to-day, shows that the mis-
take arose from the blending of passage
in Commissioner Knipe's report, condemn
ing further coercion laws, with part of
Gen. Buffers evidence. The Conservatives
assert that the Parnellites purpOsely
diffused the error throughout the
country to confuse public opinion upon
Gen. Buffers genuine evidence. The Pail
Mall Gazette denied that yesterdays state
ment was a garbled version. The dis
crepancy, it says. was mere msprint. 1t
is asserted that Gen. Butler said that in
certain localities IN Kerry, Clare and Cork
an organized stand was being made against
the payment of existing rents, but that
rents were generally fairly well paid. A
majority of the tenants. he said, were
anxious to pay but wanted a reasonable al
lowance, while a great many others VINO
did not require any allowance.
WOULD PAY IF THEY DARED.
He feared intimidation was rampant in
the country. The people, he said, had
sympathy with the National league be-
cause they though it was their salvation.
The bulk of the tenants have told him that
the reduction of rents and the staying of
evictions was the result of the operations OF
the league. He said it was not longer
possible to enforce legal obligations in that
part of the country.
Question-That hardly looks as if the law
was all for the rich?
Gen. Buller-The law; there isn't much
law there. A short time ago what law there
was was really on the side of the rich.
Gen. Butler further said that the act of
1881, which was intended to remedy this
state of affairs, had been failure. He was
not prepared to say whether the failure was
due to the opposition of the league or to the
fall in prices. The Parnellites and Glad
stonians rely upon Gen. Buffers evidence
to support their demand for the stOppage of
evictions and the early production of land
legislation. The government was prepared
tonight to carry out plan fora continuous
sitting of the house Of commons until the
first rule of procedure should be settled.

THE DENMEAD HORROR.
The Two Persons Found Dead Were
Probably Starved.


New BRUNSWICK, n. j., March IL
All the Brundage family, the only relatives
of the Denmeads, drove in from Pscat-
away this morning and learned of the hor-
rible discovery of yesterday. Mrs. Brund-
age persisted in seeing the body of her
sister, although the remains had not been
prepared for inspection. After a post
mortem examination they will take the
body of Mrs. Denmead and have it inferred
in st. James graveyard at Piscataway.
The detectives of the city are inclined to
believe in the foul play theory. 1t is Ger
tain that Samuel Denmead has tried under
hand means to obtain possession OF the
wOman's property. No marriage certificate
has been found among the papers OF the
brothers. and Mrs. Brundage freely asserts
as her opinion that the woman was nothing
but the mistress of the three men. The re-
suit of the post mOrtem examination on the
bodies of Robert and Cornelia Denmead
showed that the woman's lungs were in a
normal condition and that her death was
not caused by pneumonia. Her stomach
and intestineS were absolutely empty of
solid matter. showing that the woman was
starved to death. The body was horribly
decomposed Mrs. Denmead had been
dead for at least two weeks. Robert Den
meads body was gaunt and shriveled. The
lungs and heart were decompoSed. The
stomach and intestines were empty. His
death was also caused by starvation. The
StomachS OF both Robert and Mrs. Dem
mead were taken to Austen & Willer, ana
lytical chemists, who will examine them
for traces of poison. The eyes of the two
persons had been destroyed, presumably by
rats.
Howard McSherry, counsel for Samuel
Denmead. is authority for the statement
that Robert Denmead was taken ill four
months ago and died about Christmas.
Cornelia was taken ill few days before
Christmas and died few days after. Death
in each case resulted from natural causes.

Opiun, smuggling.

DETROIT. Mich, March 11.-Large
quantities of opium have been shipped re-
GENTLY from Detroit. In some way the
customs authorities learned of this fact.
They ascertained that no such quantities
had passed their hands as were being sent
out of the city regularly. Careful investi-
cation revealed to them that the opium was
being brought to America by way of British
Columbia, shipped there to Ontario only to
disappear and find its way to Detroit.
The search for the offenders resulted to-day
in the arrest of r. A. West, temporary
resident of this city. West was taken be-
fore United States Commissioner Graves
this afternoon and held in $4,000 bonds to
appear tomorrow to answer to the charge
of smuggling. The customs authorities
say that by smuggling this opium the gov
eminent has been swindled out of nearly
500, 600.

think pretty girl like that could sit and
dream about you as she's dreaming about
somebody? Let's walk past and look at
her.
So they walked slowly past. The maiden
was still wrapped in contemplation, and.
as they passed, her companion said quite
distinctly:
''Now, Emily, this is all foolishness.

ACurious superstition.

The Newburyport (Mass.) Herald relates
a curious coincidence in connection with
the bark Abbe Carver, which has been SO
long overdue that no doubt of her loss at
sea remains. There is an old superstition
among sailors that it is unlucky to name
vessel for woman. While in the ship
building business Messrs. Atkinson & Fill
more, of this city, built ten barks and two
ships.
OF those only three were named for
women. One, the ship Susan Gilmore, was
wrecked at New Castle n. S. W.; another,
the bark Sarah E. Kingsbury, was burned
at Capetown. and now the third is undoubt-
eddy lost. Of the remaining nine, rang
ing in age from ten to twenty years. all so
far as heard from are atloat.
